Einhorn to speak Tuesday: get your short orders ready

So far, talk out of the Value Investing Congress\’ New York huddle has moved a handful of stocks. But that all seems like a drumroll to the Tuesday midmorning speech from Greenlight Capital\’s David Einhorn. He\’s known for some successful shorting strategies, and that reputation has cast a unusual spell over his comments. Even questions about a company\’s accounting — remember the Herbalife Ltd.
earnings call this spring? — can send shares skidding. We\’ll be listening for any salvos about Herbalife, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc.
and others. He also holds long positions, but talk about those rarely produces as much excitement. MarketWatch\’s Sue Chang is on the scene in New York.
